Sheridan"Section Break" in Microsoft Word should be renamed to "Layout Break" or something. Section breaks are intended for when you want to change the layout of a document midway, eg, to change the header/footer, the page size, margins, column layout, etc. Section breaks are misapplied so often in cases where a simple page break would have sufficed. It's the number one reason why page numbering gets fucked up. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Word" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Word</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/MSWord" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MSWord</a>
